i had ifs rear and shackles
now i have TG front and rear.
TG leafs shit all over ifs rears.
IMO trail gear are designed and tested and are proven.
I dont drive mine on road much but when i do its quite stable even with 38s.

id go the TG any day over the ruf and ifs rears.

Pfft yous are all Dudelux, stock box hanger, teh massivest shackles, bit of surface rust, some welded duffs, and some 38s for onroad driving and we'll be rolling all night with a full tank of unleaded.

And instead of doin hi steer just invert ur drivers shock so the J arm dont hit it, makes sense huh? thats how mine is done and is very capable of running 12's

Standard suspension would ride good with 38's at 25psi. Similar to big airbags i rekon :twisted:, cause id be able to tell if any suspension setup worked well with 10inchs of sidewall to absorb the roads bumps and lumps, and no body roll would be from the sidewall.

well if we are talking about my falcon then 6 inches becomes more like 2 and yeah shopping centres can be problematic but thats fine. and silver shackles dont make a car mighty just confuzzles people when they dont understand that shackles are able to be more than black red or blue. but whats even more of an issue is wether or not i can put a 2 inch body lift in my hilux without asking everyone on here how to do it, because i might need tailshaft spacers and extended brake lines....... but not if i run welded cv's

falcon are really long in the back half and short in the front, require more work than ifs leaves to fit and wont be any better, the only real way to get more than ifs leaves offer is to get leaves that are also longer in the front, like my rear leaves for example, but you can only use them with silver shackles or you wont get enough rti from your rls.

most is true some is bullshit, you sort it out

2x hub spaces to widen the solid axel track to ifs width
4x1.5" wheel spaces (im not using)

4xbilstein shocks
1x bilstein dampener

2x new drilled/vented discs
1x rear cross member
1x front dropped cross member
